    Love In The Time Of Katrina II

    Love in the Time of Katrina II     The air was stagnate with humidity, the pines and oaks stood stoically in the stillness and Medea fell hard for Jason.   Betrayal like the eye of Katrina, was first calm until the wind changed, spread, increased, intensified. Medea gave everything, including her brothers, so Jason could flee with...

    • Yeah, that calm was not calm at all. The aftermath was. Terrible

      • Katrina, one of the long list of American crimes committed against Black folks. Countless numbers of Black people crammed into the Astrodome, that looked like the slave ships that brought African people here as slaves. The thousands of people who lost EVERYTHING and who were “dispersed” to different parts of the country. Yes it was natural disaster but made worse by man made oppression, like the whites who shot at Black folks on the bridge out of New Orleans, forcing them back into the floods. This country truly is a nation of barbarity and savagery.

        Thanks Fia, it is always great when you come and visit my poems.

    Meeting Dali While Singing Nirvana

    Meeting Dali While Singing Nirvana     The morning was heavy, thick; not from Summer’s heat or humidity, but from the dark shadows arising from the earth. As I walked across the field, it felt as though I was a fantasy wandering through reality. It was surreal, even though there was...

    • I love Kurt, I love him not because of his music, because of the man he is, the human he is, the soul he is. and no he didn’t kill himself, I’m one of those who believes it, have to say this. On the other hand I don’t like Dali lol but I surely can see how Nirvana’s music paints Dali’s mind. I’m glad I read this this morning, thank You my friend 💕 might be sending you some older poem after reading this.

      • WHAT!!??? You don’t like Dali??? LOL. No worries, I’m more of an Impressionist fanboy, than of Surrealism. Having said this, I find a lot of surrealism in Nirvana’s music and also in the life of Kurt Cobain. There is also a lot of irony in their music as well as in that whole period of time, the time of “Grunge” music (the 90’s into the early 2000’s). This was a response to the sappy 80’s music (though I admit there was some good music made then, mostly Madonna and Michael Jackson and of course Prince).

        So, you think Cobain was murdered, interesting. At some point, you will have to tell me why you think this. What evidence do you have, etc.

        Light, your visit was/is more than welcome, and I am thankful for your comment.

        • Thank You for accepting me as me and not kicking me out of the door of art lol as I’ve said, I understand how Dali’s work is connected to Nirvana’s music and yes Kurt’s life, Kurt’s mind was unique, and for sure surreal. I don’t know why many dislike the 80th, I love 80th and there was great real music back then, and NO ONE is like The King not even now!✨👑✨

          As for Kurt being murdered, I might not have the evidence You want in my hands, but let’s us say it’s an inner voice I had since ever.

          Thank You again, glad we can chat about other things through our poetry.

          • My bad, I should have been clearer. My asking about what evidence, I more meant the why, why do you think (or feel) that Kurt was murdered? For example, I believe that Jimi Hendrix was killed and did not die from a drug overdose.

            Anyway, Light, I would never ever kick you out of the art room. NEVER!

            • I believe Jimi Hendrix was killed, so the king MJ, so Kurt Cobain, so many others… yet, the case in Kurt’s situation might be different, for me it’s enough to have that egotist brutal evil wife to have been killed not exactly by her, but with no doubt she has a hand with it.
